* OldShame: While Pearson doesn't hate it, he considers the original ''Hildafolk'' to be the weakest of the graphic novels. He attributes this towards failing to recapture the spirit of ''Literature/TheMoomins'', his main influence while writing the first book, rather then establishing with his own style, [[https://leftlion.co.uk/features/2013/11/luke-pearson-hilda-interview-everything-we-miss-hildafolk/ as stated in this 2013 interview.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** A deleted scene from the first episode of the second season would have featured the Great Raven and provided [[PutOnABus a reason]] for why he didn't appear in the rest of the season (he left town, promising to be back for next year's festival). However, the scene ended up being cut for time.
** [[https://twitter.com/ReyGGTV/status/1327622095551905794 There was talk of using an American or Swedish voice cast instead of a British one.]]
** The series was originally pitched to Creator/DisneyChannel, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, Creator/CartoonNetwork, and Creator/{{CBBC}} [[https://twitter.com/ThatHartleyKat/status/1496890302270873613 before Netflix picked it.]] [[https://twitter.com/ReyGGTV/status/1327616457694298112 Disney was very close towards picking it up, going as far to commission Mercury Filmworks various animated tests, but dropped out at the last minute.]]
** [[https://twitter.com/ReyGGTV/status/1327617760155688961 Early concept art showed that the characters appeared drastically different than in the final product.]] One of [[https://youtu.be/IHqkwsUGhxQ?si=JM1crEeoejCWZBij the early animation tests]] also show that the designs were originally more faithful to the graphic novels at one point.
** The Marra were originally written as [[https://twitter.com/ReyGGTV/status/1327619634091020288 "full on goth kids"]].
** Early on during the second season's development, an episode titled ''The Witches Tower'' was planned, but was scrapped. It's thought that the episode would've served as a company piece to the actual ''The Witch'' episode, and was either cut for time or merged into the aforementioned final version.
** ''The Mountain King'', which was written to be the series finale, was developed within the understanding no further renewals would happen (especially since ''The Mountain King'' is the last entry in the original graphic novel series). However, a third season was greenlit during production, much to the delight of the team.

* IKnewIt:
** The city's library is associated with magic more than once in Season 1, and fans were quick to guess that the woman in charge was a MagicLibrarian of some variety. This wasn't actually confirmed until Season 2 and "The Witch", which gave her a prominent role.
** Once it was announced that a feature-length special would be released after Season 2, fans were quick to guess that the season would end with [[spoiler:the cliffhanger ending of ''Hilda and the Stone Forest'']] and the movie would follow up with [[spoiler:an adaptation of ''Hilda and the Mountain King'']].

* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: While GUND's Hilda plush is pretty faithful for the most part, it does make some [[https://themysteryshack.com/cdn/shop/products/hilda12plush.png?v=1596641253 notable changes]] from how she looks in the comics and show, the biggest difference being that her eyes are almost completely different, with her pupils being bigger and having a shine on them, unlike the small BlackDotPupils she has in the comics and show proper.[[note]]Though some of her expressions do resemble the plush toy, such as [[https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fv2om1j910c861.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Da7a2b669bb2578cb3f9fd5727ae081cb3ea21ea7 this face]], but it's not her default appearance[[/note]] Some of the coloring is also off, with her scarf and cuffs being colored orange (instead of light yellow) and her mouth being colored red instead of black. She also has a noticeable blush around her cheeks, which she also lacks in the show and comics. It's unclear why GUND made these changes to Hilda (especially since their plushes of Twig and Woff are more show-accurate).

* SleeperHit: The Netflix series is definitely this. Although the comics were acclaimed, they were somewhat obscure. Excellent word of mouth surrounding the show prompted many viewers to check it out, resulting in it becoming such an unexpected hit, both critically and commercially, that Silvergate Media is [[https://www.awn.com/news/silvergate-media-launches-licensing-program-netflix-series-hilda now planning]] a licensing program for it in response, with Netflix announcing a second season within weeks and an extra-length special set to release later on in 2021.
